Yang Qinglan buried her face in his embrace.
"...No wonder you're obsessed with and confident about your own body!" she teased shyly.
Li Changzhou chuckled foolishly twice and said nothing; he couldn't utter a word now.
Suddenly, the Void opened its eyes.
"Bro, are you there? I sent you a coded message with my backpack, why aren't you replying? Something wrong?" Li Qianxia's voice came through a tiny crack the size of a finger gap.
Li Changzhou felt like killing... like wringing her neck.
He regretfully spoke in a soft voice—thankfully his constitution had weakened, so Li Qianxia couldn't hear—and said, "Qing Lan, next time—"
"Dear brother, don't talk, let's ignore her." Yang Qinglan pulled Li Changzhou to a spot hidden from the crack.
"Just be quick, I... I'll make it quick."
The truth was, Li Changzhou couldn't hold out much longer either.
If his physical quality hadn't diminished, with the Divine Body's control over the physical body, it wouldn't matter how many times or for how long, but now it was impossible.
"I...am here! Everything's fine!"
"You scared me to death, why aren't you speaking?"
"Busy," Yang Qinglan giggled.
"Where's your mind wandering to?" Yang Qinglan laughed and scolded, "Your brother just got a new weapon, I'm checking it out."
"Aha, that so, what kind of weapon? A star-destroying ultimate shot... fuck! You're not—?" Li Qianxia suddenly fell silent.
"Watch your language!" Yang Qinglan scolded like she was reprimanding a child, then whispered urgently, "Brother, come on out, will you? I'll take over."
Li Changzhou left Yang Qinglan's little planet, not feeling calm and composed at all. On the contrary, he wanted even more... to brawl with weapons.
On the other side of the crack, Li Qianxia held her hands over her face: "Don't look at me; I don't want to see what you look like now." Updates are released by novel•fire.net
"Come back!" Li Qianxia grabbed her, blushing as she whispered, "How far did you get? Am I going to be an aunt?"
"It's too early for that."
"So it was..." Li Qianxia's words trailed off, her face turning as red as rouge.
She punched Li Changzhou and bit her lip as she scolded, "Pervert!"
"Don't push me to hit you." Li Changzhou straightened his clothes, not wanting to discuss such a topic with his sister, "What's your task?"
"Help 'Divine·Valent'."
"The same as Qing Lan." Li Changzhou nodded, slowly regaining his composure, "Have Turquoise Pool and Bi contacted you yet?"
"Yeah." Li Qianxia's face was still a bit red, her eyes uncontrollably scanning over Li Changzhou's body, looking for signs, for any... leftovers.
She continued somewhat absentmindedly: "Sister Turquoise Pool and Bi's tasks are to complete the 'IAO·1 Second Discrepancy' task, they said they'll meet up with us after they claim their task."
"The task is the same as mine; I should be able to meet them," Li Changzhou said.
"That's good," Li Qianxia nodded, her eyes still aimlessly wandering, "That way we can all gather together."
Whether she had no hope for the matter of 'meeting up with the little radish,' or she was just distracted, 'everyone' didn't include the little radish.
Li Changzhou felt uncomfortable under her gaze and simply said, "If there's nothing else, I'm heading back first. Be careful on your own. If anything happens, send me a coded message with your backpack, and also call me over once you reach the new location."
He teleported away directly.
He didn't return to his own spaceship but to Yang Qinglan's little planet, where she was washing her hands.
Seeing Li Changzhou standing in the distance, smiling at her as she washed her hands, she pursed her lips shyly. Her slender white hands glided over the water surface, splashing water towards him.
Li Changzhou dodged to the side, laughing as he walked over, and said, "Do I need a security check again?"
"You're one of us now, no need for a security check," Yang Qinglan said very seriously as if she was talking about a real security check.
"I see... in that case, um, next time you come over to my place, I, I'll give you a security check?"
"Dream on." Yang Qinglan pursed her lips, full of teasing as she scolded him.
